“You get what you pay for...but..”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013

We chose this location as it was very convenient for traveling to our daughter's apartment. I called ahead to make sure it wasn't still under construction, which several reviewers had mentioned. We found the room to be somewhat redone and the bed was very comfortable and clean. However, the walls were marred and badly in need of painting, and the... More

“Very average, nothing outstanding, nothing terrible”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

I stayed there for two nights. The room was comfortable. The breakfast was OK, pretty much what is to be expected. The thing I did not like was that the fitness center was not operational. However, that could be temporary just when I happened to be there. I cannot say that I had any major inconvenience.

“Worst hotel we've ever stayed at”

Choice Hotels have been going noticeably downhill for over a year now. The best example of how bad things have become is the Clarion Hotel on Holiday Drive in Pittsburgh. Except for the beds which were excellent, the entire experience left my wife and I with such a bad taste in our mouths that we have decided to abandon Choice... More
